Incheon Int'l Airport begins security interviews for U.S.-bound travellers - Duration: 2:07.

The United States is requiring incoming flights from other countries to implement tougher

security measures, including passenger interviews.

Korea's main gateway, Incheon International Airport, began the new screening today.

But despite reports the process could create an hour or more delay, that wasn't the case,

at least on day one.

Park Hee-jun tells us more.

As of Thursday, travelers heading to the United States or its territories from Incheon International

Airport,... will have to go through additional security measures before arriving at the gate.

This follows the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's request to tighten passenger

screening on 180 airlines in 105 countries last June, amid growing concerns on terrorism.

They already began screening portable electronics devices, such as smartphones and notebooks

in July.

But beginning this week,... security interviews at the ticket counters of Korean low-cost

carriers and U.S. fliers,... or at boarding gates are being added to the screening process.

Korea's major carriers--Korean Air and Asiana Airlines--however, have managed to put off

the implementation of the security interview until next year.

(standup) "Travelers to the U.S. were told to arrive

at the airport 3 to 4 hours before departure,... but despite concerns that security interviews

would be time-consuming,... it turns out... the checks do not affect check-in times of

travelers as much as expected."

(Korean) "It barely took a minute.

I think travelers can arrive at the usual time."

(English) "I was asked where we were staying, how far

away we were from another hotel, and why we were here,... maybe 2 minutes to ask us all

the questions."

Airport officials say that with additional employees and the earlier opening of check-in

counters,... there won't be that much extra airport traffic.

Some airlines are opening their check-in desks three to four hours before departure for flights

to the U.S.

And to save time, airline employees are conducting the interview while passengers are waiting

in line, to help make the process more convenient for travelers.

North Korean official tells U.S. to take hydrogen threat 'literally' - Duration: 1:06.

No hollow threat....

A senior North Korean official has warned the U.S. that it should take Pyongyang's threat

of setting off a hydrogen bomb "literally"-- telling CNN that the country has always backed

its words with action.

Referring to foreign minister Ri Yong-ho's remarks last month in New York, when he said

the regime would set off an H-bomb in the Pacific,... the official said Ri is very well

aware of Kim Jong-un's intentions.

The official also implied that diplomatic channels between the U.S. and North Korea

are non-existent, despite U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's recent insistence that--

they are still open.

He also said Washington is deeply mistaken if it thinks talking about a military option--

and even practicing such moves along with a series sanctions -- will lead to a diplomatic

resolution.

North Korea's H-bomb threat was made shortly after President Trump's speech before the

United Nations where he said the U.S. would "totally destroy" the regime and even called

the leader Kim Jong-un a "rocketman."

A senior North Korean official has warned the U.S. that it should take Pyongyang's threat

has always backed its words with action.

on Pyongyang -- through military drills and sanctions -- will lead to a diplomatic resolution.

North Korea's H-bomb threat came shortly after President Trump's now famous speech at the

UN where he said the U.S. would "totally destroy" the regime.

Meeting between U.S. and N. Korean officials cancelled: TBS - Duration: 0:42.

A meeting between key officials from Washington and Pyongyang has been abruptly canceled.

Hopes were high that U.S. State Department's special representative for North Korea policy

Joseph Yun... and senior North Korean diplomat Choe Sun-hee... could discuss ways to make

some positive steps towards dialogue between the two nations.

Unfortunately, according to Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting System the anticipated unofficial

event in Oslo was cancelled by the reclusive regime.

Citing a diplomatic source, it's reported the communist state blamed the Seoul-Washington

combined military exercises.

The two officials have met before.

Back in May, they held talks on the return of American detainees in North Korea.

US puts THREE massive ships on North Korea path in World War 3 threat ahead of Trump visit - Duration: 3:27.

US puts THREE massive ships on North Korea path in World War 3 threat ahead of Trump visit

Two US Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have arrived in the past two days, bringing the number of giant warships in the region up to three.

Mr Trump will visit Asia for the first time in early November on a 12-day trip which will include China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam.

USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Nimitz, along with their cruisers, destroyers and submarines, joined the US Navy's 7th Fleet area of operations, which covers the eastern Indian and western Pacific oceans, the Navy confirmed.

The ships' accompanying nine cruisers and destroyers are equipped with the Aegis anti-missile system, which the US see as a key defence mechanism against any possible attack by North Korean missiles.

The USS Ronald Reagan was already in the region, based in Japan, and has been carrying out exercises with South Korean forces over the past week.

North Korea reacted by Kim Jong-un calling President Donald Trump a "war merchant and strangler of peace".

The Navy has not revealed specific missions for the Roosevelt and Nimitz, but the presence of more massive warships in the region will definitely draw criticism from at least North Korea.

Adam Mount, a defence analyst and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, told CNN: "It does send a significant signal. "It is a major projection of force any time a carrier moves into a region.

"US adversaries will read something into it.". Former US Navy admiral John Kirby, said the warships will send a message to China as well as North Korea.

Following an incident earlier this year in which two US-guided missile destroyers collided with merchant ships, an opinion piece in the state-run China Daily newspaper, said: "The US Navy is a hazard in Asian waters.

"Increased activities by US warships in Asia-Pacific are making them a growing risk to commercial shipping."  Admiral Kirby added the Navy is "taking advantage" of Mr Trump's visit to "demonstrate its capabilities to potential adversaries".

Mr Mount added having three carriers in the region is rare and gives the Navy "an elevated posture just prior to the President's trip".

U.S. officials say diplomatic efforts with North Korea on brink of collapse - Duration: 1:43.

Our top story this morning...

Washington's diplomatic efforts... for a peaceful resolution of North Korea's nuclear threat...

is reportedly on its "last legs"... according to multiple U.S. officials.

However, the top U.S. diplomat for North Korea... is still looking for ways to restart dialogue...

by sending a high-level envoy to Pyongyang... who could be none other than Secretary of

State Rex Tillerson himself.

Yu Joonhee starts us off.

According to U.S. officials,... Washington's diplomacy with Pyongyang is on the brink of

collapse... over the refusal by both President Trump and the North Korean regime to engage

in dialogue.

NBC News reported on Wednesday,... that Joseph Yun, Washington's top envoy to North Korea...

was growing frustrated at his inability to inform the White House... of the urgency of

the situation.

According to a congressional aide who spoke with Yun,... the diplomat is now considering

a "hail mary" attempt to rejuvenate talks... by sending State Secretary Rex Tillerson or

another high-level U.S. official to Pyongyang.

Yun reportedly said Trump's tough rhetoric... was dashing any hopes of restarting negotiations

with the North... while escalating the risk of military conflict.

The U.S. president has been trading harsh verbal attacks with the Kim Jong-un regime

in recent months... while openly challenging Tillerson's efforts to talk to North Korea

earlier this month.

Pyongyang has also shunned the possibility of any talks in the near-term,... while threatening

more provocations... adding to the current impasse between the two countries.

All this,... with just over one week left to go... until President Trump embarks on

his week-long tour of Asia... starting with visits to Japan and South Korea.
